Biography

Called For Help

As Thanos eliminated half of the universe's population with a snap of his fingers using the Infinity Stones, Nick Fury saw the situation unfolding on Earth as he witnessed Maria Hill and several civilians fade away into dust, and quickly grabbed a pager to send out an emergency alert in response. Moments after, Fury himself turned to dust as well, dropping the pager which eventually displayed Danvers' symbol, having successfully sent the message.[1]

Behind the Scenes

According to Kevin Feige in his Phase Three announcement, Carol Danvers is "one of the most, if not the most, powerful heroes in the MCU."[2] Kevin Feige further confirmed that Captain Marvel will be the most powerful superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. [3]

Captain Marvel was originally in the Avengers: Age of Ultron script, but she was removed as it was deemed inappropriate to introduce her without establishing her backstory.[4]

Carol Danvers was also originally going to appear in Jessica Jones when it was going to air on the ABC Network; however, her role was eventually filled by Trish Walker.[5]

Once the first set photos of Brie Larson in the role of Captain Marvel appeared online, fans noticed similarities between the character's hairstyle and the famous "Rachel" haircut popularised by the character Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) in early seasons of the television series Friends.[6]
